Hi there, I want to find my little girl's star that was given to her as a gift by her grandparents on her first Christmas. My goal is to travel to that star, take a high resolution screenshot of it and hang it next to her framed star chart. Unfortunately, I am having a hard time finding it in game or translating real world information into the game to better locate it. I apologize if this is the wrong avenue to inquire with the site and/or the development team.
I have made a reddit submission asking for assistance and I will try to make a forum post about it here asking for help as well.

The star in question does not have a "name" according to several star databases, but it does exist in the sky. The star is near the "Lynx" constellation. Googling the information yields a star name of 2MASS J09081892+4531529. It's coordinates relative to earth are 09 08 18.92 +45 31 52.9. We punched in the galactic coordinates of (60:60:90) into the 3D map in the game but there was nothing there. The closest star was "Jath" but I don't think this is the one.
Relative to earth, the closest named star is HIP 44758 but this isn't very close to it. I can search that one in the database though.
I'd love a helping hand if one can be provided. I think it would be an awesome project to do for her and when she grows up maybe she can appreciate space even more!
Thanks very much for your help.
